Atlas of Heaven and Man.

Chapter 610 Homecoming
After a seven-hour journey, the armed convoy arrived at the checkpoint in Yangzhi City at around noon. After a short stop, it drove towards the city ahead amid the salutes of the station inspectors.

At the same time, He Fen, director of the Yangzhi City Processing Branch, and Guan Yuming, director of the Patrol Bureau, were waiting in front of the entrance to the city on the National Avenue.

As the investigation supervisor of the Bureau, and also a third-level fighter, Chen Chuan had already informed Yangzhi City of his trip and asked them to make arrangements in advance.

Guan Yuming stood at the intersection, looking at the straight and wide national avenue in front of him, feeling a little complicated.

Chen Chuan can be considered a junior of the Police Bureau. He watched Chen Chuan climb the ladder and even helped him along the way. He knew that Chen Chuan was a very outstanding young man who would definitely reach a higher position in the future.

But I never thought that it would come so quickly.
The last time Chen Chuan came back, he was as the executive team leader, which was one level higher than him at that time. But now he has become the investigation supervisor, which means he is a real superior. In the entire Yangzhi City, only the civil affairs director is at this level.

He Fen looked into the distance, then looked at his watch, estimating that it would only take a few minutes to arrive.

He was transferred from somewhere else this year and is not very familiar with the situation in Yangzhi City. Compared with Guan Yuming, he does not have as many feelings. At this moment, he is just in the mood to welcome his superiors.

He turned around and said, "Director Guan, I heard that this Supervisor Chen is from your Patrol Bureau?"

Guan Yuming nodded and said, "He is the nephew of our police chief, Nian Fuli. He was raised by Nian Fuli and his wife since he was a child. He is a member of our police department."

He Fen smiled and said, "Director Guan is also the elder of Director Chen. I haven't met Director Chen yet. I will meet him later. I will also ask Director Guan to help me put in a word."

Guan Yuming said: "Director Chen works in the processing bureau, and Director He is more effective than me in speaking."

Just as he was speaking, a high-pitched and distant cry suddenly came from the sky. He Fen looked up and then at the end of the road. There seemed to be a ray of light flashing in his eyes. He said affirmatively, "It's coming."

After a while, Guan Yuming saw a black dot gradually emerging in front of the National Avenue, and then it became clearer and clearer. A convoy was driving towards them.

Leading the way was an armored vehicle with a machine gun mounted on top, followed by an extended armored vehicle and the escort vehicles following behind.

The frontmost armed vehicle saw the people waiting ahead, and immediately used the field creatures in the convoy to report back, and after reaching a certain distance, it pulled over to the side of the road.

When the special car drove to the front, it slowly slowed down and finally stopped. The door opened and Chen Chuan walked out.

He was wearing a wide-brimmed hat, protective gloves on his hands, and a military coat for an investigation supervisor. He looked particularly heroic because of his upright posture, which was unique to a fighter.

As soon as he appeared, someone in the welcoming team immediately shouted, "Salute!", and all the personnel from the Patrol Bureau and the Processing Bureau who were present saluted in unison.

Chen Chuan stood still and returned the greeting. After that, he walked forward until he was in front of Guan Yuming and the other man. He first greeted Guan Yuming and said, "Director Guan." Then he looked at He Fen and extended his hand, "Hello, Director He."

He Fen immediately took a half step forward, held his hands with both hands, and said enthusiastically: "Manager Chen, I have always heard colleagues talking about you. Director Fang even called me beforehand and mentioned your achievements in particular. I was deeply impressed by what I heard."

Chen Chuan understood that this person was Deputy Director Fang's man, and said, "I just went back home. The higher-ups asked for advance notice, and I didn't want to alarm you two."

He Fen said: "Manager Chen is the head of the General Administration. It is my duty as a subordinate to come over and greet him. Otherwise, people will accuse me of not knowing the rules."

Guan Yuming said, "Officially you are my superior, and privately you are the most outstanding disciple of our police department. It is reasonable for me to come and greet you."

Chen Chuanshuo said: "Director Guan is too polite."

Guan Yuming said solemnly, "Also, when I came here, Chief Zhu called me specially and asked me to say hello to you."

Chen Chuan nodded slightly and said, "Then I'd like to ask Director Guan to thank Chief Zhu on my behalf."

Guan Yuming said: "I will pass it on for you."

He Fen smiled and said, "Manager Chen, we have prepared a banquet for you in the bureau, specially to welcome you. Please come and enjoy the meal."

Chen Chuan said: "When I was in Yangzhi City before, I had never had the opportunity to go to the branch. As a staff member of the processing bureau, this time when I return to Yangzhi, I must go there to have a meal."

He Fen's smile widened, and he said, "I will definitely treat my supervisor well."

After exchanging greetings here, Chen Chuan and his group returned to their respective cars. Several vehicles gathered together and, led by the vehicle leading the way in front, drove towards the Yangzhi City Processing Bureau.

Inside the Yangzhi Municipal Government Hall, Chief Civil Affairs Zhu Xian was on the phone with someone.

"Did you pick him up? Did you deliver my greetings? Good, you must make arrangements for the reception for Manager Chen."

After hanging up the phone, he was also filled with emotion. He had met Chen Chuan a few years ago, and at that time he thought he was just an outstanding young man. He didn't think much about him afterwards, but he didn't expect that he would be on the same level as him so soon.

It’s only been less than three years, right?
He worked hard in the local area for many years before he got to this position.

But he also understood that the environment was different now. Capable fighters could indeed be promoted quickly, and sometimes one opportunity could make them soar to the sky. He had seen many such examples over the years.

Although in terms of actual power, they may not be able to compare with him, a local governor in charge of millions of people, but once a major conflict or confrontation comes, this kind of military faction will take priority in the entire system.

The secretary beside him said, "I wonder if Director Chen is coming back this time to return home in glory, or for some other purpose?" Zhu Xian said, "It's not that complicated. In the eyes of Central City, Yangzhi City is just a small place. Without Molan Company, they won't even look at it twice."

He waved his hand and said, "Just entertain them according to the rules." After thinking for a moment, he added, "If there is anything, please inform me at any time."

The secretary nodded.

The last two times Chen Chuan went to Yangzhi, he just called his aunt's family to inform them, and nothing happened.

This time, before he came back, the news had already spread throughout the family quarters of the Police Bureau. Everyone knew that Chen Chuan had taken up a higher position in the central city. Even Director Guan went to the intersection to greet him in person.

Everyone was surprised and envious, and lamented that the elderly were really going to become rich.

It wasn't just the Patrol Bureau and the Processing Bureau. Wuyi College also received the news. After all, Wuyi College and the Processing Bureau were two sides of the same coin, and Chen Chuan was a student from Wuyi, so they were also proud of it.

Cheng Zitong had received the news early in the morning, so he had a rosy face when he went out these days. After hearing that Chen Chuan's convoy had entered the city, he immediately picked up the phone and dialed a number: "Old Qian, I'm looking for my senior brother."

The answer came immediately: "Manager Cheng, the old man is not here."

"He's not here. Where did he go?" Cheng Zitong was a little surprised.

Old Qian said, "It's almost the end of the semester, and the next semester is coming. The old gentleman has contacted the central city and wants to send the young teacher to the central city to adapt, so he took the young teacher to the central city two days ago.

"Oh... Brother, aren't you a little too anxious? Why didn't you tell me in advance so that I could see him off."

Old Qian said, "The old man said that this semester is almost over and you are the busiest at the moment, Director Cheng, so I don't need to bother you."

Cheng Zitong sighed and said, "Brother, you really care about me. Okay, when you come back or call me, please let me know. Don't forget Lao Qian."

Old Qian said respectfully: "Director Cheng, that's for sure."

After hanging up the phone, he turned around and saw Qiao Linhu sitting there, with his students around him and some luggage that had been packed long ago.

He said, "Sir, Director Cheng has said so."

Qiao Linhu hummed.

At this time, he heard the sound of a car horn outside, and immediately stood up and said in a deep voice, "Let's go."

As he said this, he walked out quickly.

The disciples behind him quickly followed.

After Qiao Linhu got into the car, he waited until all the disciples and followers got in the car and put away all the big and small bags. Then he urged in a deep voice: "Let's go, don't go through the front door, go through the back of the academy."

His behavior made others very nervous. Those who knew knew that they were going to the central city, while those who didn't thought they were fleeing.

Shortly after his car left, before the smell of algae oil had even dissipated, another car drove up and stopped at the gate of the house.

Cheng Zitong came down from inside, took off his sunglasses, looked at the locked door, and said, "Oh, he really left. Forget it, I can't have this meal for free."

He looked into the distance and said loudly, "Brother, have a safe journey."

His voice was carried far away by the wind.

After standing here and looking for a while, he suddenly smiled, put on his sunglasses, got back into the car, and turned around and left.

The convoy drove towards the city. When passing through the city center, Chen Chuan took a look at the old site of the Molan Company Building.

This building has obviously been renovated. The exterior walls are all silver-colored, with the logo of Yuan'an Company in the center. It looks like a metal gear chassis with protruding, ridged armor plates overlapping on it.

In the square, there is an all-metal sculpture with several supporting legs, which seems to be covered with a folding shell.

Most people may not be able to tell what it is, but he feels that it is somewhat similar to the appearance of an active consciousness.

Chen Chuan stared for a moment, then looked up at the building before looking away.

The convoy passed under the sculpture in the square and drove into the administrative building of the processing bureau not far away under the watchful eyes of the armed personnel in the square.
